Bit vectors with support for fast rank and select are a fundamental building block for compressed data structures. We close a gap between theory and practice by analyzing an important part of the design space and experimentally evaluating a…

We present highly optimized data structures for the dynamic predecessor problem, where the task is to maintain a set $S$ of $w$-bit numbers under insertions, deletions, and predecessor queries (return the largest element in $S$ no larger…

Bit vectors are fundamental building blocks of many succinct data structures. They can be used to represent graphs, are an important part of many text indices in the form of the wavelet tree, and can be used to encode ordered sequences of…

One of the central problems in the design of compressed data structures is the efficient support for rank and select queries on bitvectors. These two operations form the backbone of more complex data structures (such as wavelet trees) used…

The rank problem in succinct data structures asks to preprocess an array A[1..n] of bits into a data structure using as close to n bits as possible, and answer queries of the form rank(k) = Sum_{i=1}^k A[i]. The problem has been intensely…

Given an $n$-bit array $A$, the succinct rank data structure problem asks to construct a data structure using space $n+r$ bits for $r\ll n$, supporting rank queries of form $\mathtt{rank}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{x-1} A[i]$. In this paper, we design…

A predecessor (successor) search finds the largest element $x^-$ smaller than the input string $x$ (the smallest element $x^+$ larger than or equal to $x$, respectively) out of a given set $S$; in this paper, we consider the static case…

Rank and select data structures seek to preprocess a bit vector to quickly answer two kinds of queries: rank(i) gives the number of 1 bits in slots 0 through i, and select(j) gives the first slot s with rank(s) = j. A succinct data…

Rank and select queries on bitmaps are essential building bricks of many compressed data structures, including text indexes, membership and range supporting spatial data structures, compressed graphs, and more. Theoretically considered yet…

Given a string of length $n$ that is composed of $r$ runs of letters from the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,\sigma{-}1\}$ such that $2 \le \sigma \le r$, we describe a data structure that, provided $r \le n / \log^{\omega(1)} n$, stores the string…

For k>=1, we consider the graph dynamical system known as a k-reversible process. In such process, each vertex in the graph has one of two possible states at each discrete time. Each vertex changes its state between the present time and the…

The classical, ubiquitous, predecessor problem is to construct a data structure for a set of integers that supports fast predecessor queries. Its generalization to weighted trees, a.k.a. the weighted ancestor problem, has been extensively…

The string indexing problem is a fundamental computational problem with numerous applications, including information retrieval and bioinformatics. It aims to efficiently solve the pattern matching problem: given a text T of length n for…

We consider preprocessing a set $S$ of $n$ points in convex position in the plane into a data structure supporting queries of the following form: given a point $q$ and a directed line $\ell$ in the plane, report the point of $S$ that is…

Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in $O(n \log n)$ time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while…

The retrieval problem is the problem of associating data with keys in a set. Formally, the data structure must store a function f: U ->{0,1}^r that has specified values on the elements of a given set S, a subset of U, |S|=n, but may have…

We consider the problem of supporting Rank() and Select() operations on a bit vector of length m with n 1 bits. The problem is considered in the succinct index model, where the bit vector is stored in "read-only" memory and an additional…

We give a new successor data structure which improves upon the index size of the P\v{a}tra\c{s}cu-Thorup data structures, reducing the index size from $O(n w^{4/5})$ bits to $O(n \log w)$ bits, with optimal probe complexity. Alternatively,…

We consider the bin packing problem with $d$ different item sizes and revisit the structure theorem given by Goemans and Rothvo\ss [6] about solutions of the integer cone. We present new techniques on how solutions can be modified and give…

Let $A$ be a static array storing $n$ elements from a totally ordered set. We present a data structure of optimal size at most $n\log_2(3+2\sqrt{2})+o(n)$ bits that allows us to answer the following queries on $A$ in constant time, without…
